Ryan Bertrand is in at left-back for the suspended Ashley Cole, and will feature in a defence alongside Cesar Azpilicueta, Branislav Ivanovic and Gary Cahill, with David Luiz in a defensive-midfield role.

Luiz will play alongside Frank Lampard, who is just two goals away from becoming the club's all-time leading goalscorer. Benitez has picked a forward trio of Ramires, Eden Hazard and Victor Moses to support striker Fernando Torres.

Basel make three changes to the side that lost 2-1 to the Blues in the first leg, with Joo-Ho Park, Philipp Degen and Aleksandar Dragovic replaced by Kay Voser, Gaston Sauro and Markus Steinhofer.
